Bellingham Aviation Services is the on-field FBO. It carries AVGAS 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Plan to brief that before arrival. Flight notification service is available. The airport also publishes prior permission for unscheduled aircraft operations greater than 30 passenger seats.
For a first-time pilot, the main things to watch are the towered environment, the noise abatement rules and the mixed traffic picture on the field. Birds and wildlife are present on and near the airport. Taxiway A has a published closure for aircraft with wingspans greater than 118 feet between taxiways E and F. Portions of taxiway A at taxiways G and J are not visible from the tower. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery is handled through Victoria Terminal on 132.7.
